"Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there." (Bob Dylan) Great article by Fiona McPherson-Amador about a song for our times. 🎶💙 collider.com/bob-dylan-no...

I too hate this timeline. 👇

Does anyone know if we have any tax consequences now that Trump has reduced our prescription costs by 900%?

Melania: Devourer of Men is a free Amazon Kindle book available for download. Wouldn't it be fun if it is more popular than that Documentary movie-bribe that Bezos paid to the Occupants of our White House?

Catherine O'Hara, I mean ... my god, where do you even begin. I have cried laughing at this more than I can count.

MLK: What if this nation lived up to its own promises? What if freedom and dignity were not reserved for the few, but guaranteed for all? That kind of wonder is not weakness, and it’s certainly not naiveté. It’s the engine that propels every great leap forward in human history. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/u... This might crack up a second-grader, but without awarding full back pay and benefits to the arbitrarily fired teacher I figure even more litigation costs will follow. Good grief. Get a grip Mississippi school district.

This should not have been needed, yet here we are. God damn it.

If you read one more thing today, let it be this one. 👇

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”

Commenting on Trump's performance in Switzerland, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told The Daily Beast in a statement, “President Trump is the sharpest, most accessible and energetic President in modern American history.", per The Daily Beast. Sure, and I played Michael Clayton in that movie.🙄

Perfect

EC President von der Leyden "We consider the people of the United States not just our allies, but our friends. And [Trump] plunging us into a downward spiral would only aid the very adversaries we are both so committed to keeping out of the strategic landscape.” AP reported yesterday. 💯 💙

I don't like to swear so let me just say it's pathetic. 25A or Impeachment (or both). 😤 Dump Trump

How much do you want to bet this is what got the Texas legislature's goat? Plato believed that the Philosphers were best suited to rule. And, that there were no intellectual differences between the sexes. Per 100 Philosophers, A Guide to the World's Greatest Thinkers, by Peter J. King.

Judas Iscariot received about four months' wages to betray Christ. ICE agents are reminded of the expectations in their acceptance of 50K signing bonuses and their quotas. Judas regretted his bargain. What of ICE agents' betrayal of their decency?

"The Department's resources must remain focused on real threats to the American people, not baseless investigations," FBI Director Patel and Dep. AG Blanche said in a statement about the Homan 50K bribe. "As a result, the investigation has been closed, CBC.ca Not about Gov. Walz doing his job?🤔

Woman Killed by ICE Agent Seemed at Fault, N.Y. Republican Says in Albany. Blakeman, the likely Republican candidate for N.Y. governor, said the killing of Renee Good was just 1 point of disagreement between him + Gov. Kathy Hochul. And, he said he agrees with Trump on most issues, per NYT. So, not👇

After Renee Good, are you really going to keep pretending Trump and Vance are pro-life? www.ncronline.org/opinion/afte... Come on, MAGA. Wake up, reject Trumpism already.

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c... The new Business Protection Agenda (BPA) starts now, apparently. 🙄😡🤢

Trump mulls 'very strong' military options as hundreds killed in Iran protests, according to BBC News. Here's a thought: how about he leads by example and denounces ICE at home, then leaves Minnesota?

Fun fact. I called the Parish office for information once and was placed on hold. The music was Jimmy Buffett's. (Wasted Away Again in) Margaritaville. That still makes me smile some 20 years later. 🍹

Who's going to call it? Times up. The emperor has no clothes. He's just talking nonsensically at this point. It's not funny when he travels, at all times, with the Presidential Emergency Satchel, also known as the "nuclear football." 👇

In his pamphlet "On Tyranny," Prof. Snyder shows the authoritarian playbook. Isn't Trump itching to declare an Insurrection and "postpone" the midterms? Election day is <300 days away, after all. At a minimum, we must vote to restore checks and balances by replacing the pathetic Republican Congress.

"Minnesotans, do not take the bait. Do not allow them to deploy federal troops in the air. Do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act. Do not allow them to declare martial law. Do not allow them to lie about the security and the decency of the state...” Gov. Walz said. 👇

This Politico story is a sad commentary on the state of our country under Trump 2.0. See especially the author's note at the end. 😓 (Found via [email protected]) www.politico.eu/article/dona...

Canada, if you're listening...

Biden/Harris Dems passed billions on our infrastructure. Now? Jan. 5, 2026, per NYT, Trump painted a picture over the weekend of how U.S. oil companies would dive into Venezuela [now] and “spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure” & “start making money for the country.” WTH

This story cleared all legitimate internal reviews at CBS but for the political optics for the Regime. Do Not Comply in Advance, CBS. 🤢

Thinking of a 1996 song from Iris Dement, Wasteland of the Free, today: "We got politicians running races on corporate cash Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass You may call me old-fashioned But that don't fit my picture of a true democracy." tidal.com/browse/track...

The federal criminal case is with the jury for its deliberation in Wisconsin against a state judge who balked at ICE agents trying to serve a civil warrant for an immigrant present in her courtroom on another matter. Wisconsin livedesk is all over the case as we await the verdict. (Roku has it.)
